Ingredients

  • 250 g Wholewheat Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • Water As required for kneading
  • 5 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tbsp Coriander Finely chopped
  • Ghee Clarified butter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the oil and rub it into the flour with my fingertips.
  • Gradually add water, kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for about 1 hour.
  • After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal parts.
  • Roll out each part into a small round. Spread minced garlic and chopped coriander leaves over the surface.
  • Fold the round dough in half, covering the garlic and coriander, then fold it again into a quarter.
  • Roll out this quartered dough into a round paratha.
  • Heat a pan or tava and place the paratha on it. Cook on medium heat until golden brown spots appear on one side, then flip and cook the other side.
  • Spread a bit of ghee on each side and cook for a few more seconds until the paratha is crispy and golden.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough and serve the garlic paratha hot with a side of yogurt or pickle.

Notes

This recipe uses whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference.
The dough should be well-kneaded and rested to make soft parathas.
The ghee enhances the flavour of the paratha but can be replaced with oil for a vegan option.
The parathas are best served hot, right off the pan.
